Playa de la Caleta: Weather Today

📅 Saturday, April 11, 2026
Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, and it is best to avoid the shore for relaxation. While the sun will make appearances through the clouds, the strong winds and rough, choppy waves make conditions quite unpleasant and potentially unsafe for swimming. With a max air temperature of 17.7 °C and a sea temperature of 19.5 °C, the water is too chilly for comfortable swimming anyway. You should be mindful of the sun as the UV index is 8.2, so protection is essential if you decide to spend time outdoors. Given the high wave height and windy environment, it is not a suitable day for lounging on the sand or entering the water. Please prioritize your safety and consider indoor activities instead.
